El Merkury

"This Central American street food spot is popular with diners who want to eat something flavorful and incredible without spending a fortune. Come here for lunch or dinner, and find out why the beef taquitos, pupusas, mini-dobladas, and the exceptional soft serve has made them a mainstay on Chestnut Street." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme

"This second location of El Merkury in Reading Terminal Market does not disappoint. With an even smaller menu than the main hub (they only sell Honduran baleadas and Salvadoran pupusas, sides, and churros here), the warm grab-and-go pouches full of melty cheese, black beans with diced jalapeños, and pork keep us coming back. And even better, with street and lot parking near the market, we don’t have to struggle to find a spot near Rittenhouse Square." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Churros aren’t too far a stretch from doughnuts, right? This quick-serve Rittenhouse spot for Central American fare has a whole menu of them. Head here for made-to-order churros served over vanilla soft serve with a choice of toppings." - Sarah Maiellano

"Everything on the menu except the churros is gluten-free at Central American specialist El Merkury. Choose from a variety of taquitos, pupusas, and tostadas at either the Rittenhouse or Reading Terminal location." - Ernest Owens, Sarah Maiellano
